AI generated eligibility summary. Written by an AI model from the official source data and checked on a sample basis. It can contain mistakes, so confirm anything important against the original source. How we use AI
Who might be able to join this trial:
- You are 18 years of age or older
- Your doctor suspects you may have a lung condition called interstitial lung disease, and a tissue sample is needed to confirm the diagnosis
- Your chest scan (a detailed CT scan of the lungs) has not given a clear enough result to make a definite diagnosis
- Your doctor has determined that you are a suitable candidate for a procedure where a small sample of lung tissue is taken using a thin, flexible tube passed into the airways (called transbronchial lung cryobiopsy)
- You are able to understand the study and give your written agreement to take part
Who may not be able to join:
- Your chest scan already shows a very clear and definite pattern of a specific lung condition called UIP, meaning no further tissue sample is needed for diagnosis
- You have severely high blood pressure in the blood vessels of your lungs
- Your blood oxygen levels are too low to safely have the lung sampling procedure performed
- You have a blood clotting problem or another reason why having a tissue sample taken would not be safe for you
- You are pregnant
- You are unable to understand the study or give your agreement to take part
